Welcome to Bradford County Paws

We are a non profit organization founded in January of 2006 to help the homeless, unwanted animals in our community.  We provide adoption programs, low cost spay/neuter programs and education material to the community.  Through our efforts we hope to make a difference in the lives of animals that do not have a voice.

Big Daddy in his new job!

[image]

Big Daddy, as some of you may recall, was a rescue from Lawtey,Florida when his owner went to prison.

Since then, Big Daddy has become a therapy dog. He is now visiting nursing homes and putting a smile on their faces.

Big puppy kisses to Julie, Tug, KK, Cathy, Patti, Becky, Luann his foster mom, and his new forever mom Jan for making this a very happy ending to a very sad story. It takes a huge effort on the part of rescues to make these things happen and we are very fortunate in having wonderful people out there working with us to make good stories like Big Daddy's happen.

Snowgirl - Adopted!

[image]

Snowgirl came to us from a wonderful woman who rescued her for an abusive home. She obviously had a muzzle placed on her for a very very long time because it dug into her muzzle all the way around her face. I can't even begin to imagine why because we never hear her bark at all. She is an extremely sweet girl and needs a wonderful loving home.

Snow Girl
10 months old
Great Pryenees mix
70 lbs
long hair - will require grooming regularly
housebroken
great with kids and other pets
very gentle and quiet

If you are interested in Snowgirl please complete our adoption application and email it to us and we will be in touch very soon.

2008 Statistics for Bradford County Animal Control

The Sheriff released these numbers to us last week.

Number of cats admitted to animal control shelter 1531

Number of dogs admitted to animal control shelter 1115

Number of cats euthanized in animal control shelter 986

Number of dogs euthanized in animal control 449


That means:

2/3 of all cats
2 out of every 5 dogs



that enter the animal control here in Bradford County are killed![/b]

We have to find a way to control the pet overpopulation and reduce the number of homeless pets without killing them.

Please pass this information on to your friends, your family and people who want to make Bradford County an animal friendly county. With your voice we can make a difference!

Please spay and neuter your pets.
